RE: BlockTrades RocksDB proposal to Steemit
I have more confidence in your team’s development abilities than Ned’s. I would support this proposal.
How are you planning to cover the costs of development? Will this be paid by Blocktrades company funds or are you looking for payment from Steemit, Inc. or other blockchain-related options?
[EDIT] - Just read some of the other comments and found an answer. Will you still go ahead with development if Steemit, Inc. does not accept your proposal? You mentioned that this is a benefit for Steem and node operators, so could development still be possible if they reject the offer?
I'm willing to fund the effort in the short term as proposed, if Steemit will agree to some kind of reasonable performance contract, but I don't want to end up in a situation where our guys create code, their guys create competing code, then they just decide to go with their code cause "it's ours, it must be better" (and in any event, it results in a lot of lost programming effort).
If we deliver a product that provides real value to Steem and Steemit, I think it's only fair for Steemit to make a reasonable payment, as they benefit far more than we do. We're actually quoting at below our "normal" rates for fixed-cost blockchain work, as we do have some stake in the results and we hope this can lead to more opportunities in the future.
Some people have also suggested crowdfunding all or a portion of the work costs, but I think the expense and time overhead make that option less attractive in this particular case. That said, I do think it would make sense in the long run for Steem to have some kind of worker proposal system like BitShares has. It's been very successful, IMO.
Nice to finally see some action with my own eyes.. Yes yes yes make this happen!
Also, I don't know how not to get behind the idea of a worker proposal system like Bitshares. It has worked for them, it has worked for Dash, it will work for Steem, Power to the community.
